NYPD sergeant pleads guilty to perjury

NEW YORK -- A New York City police sergeant has pleaded guilty to lying to cover up unjustified street stops and seizures.
The New York Times says Sgt. William Eiseman pleaded guilty Monday to first-degree perjury and official misconduct. He also admitted illegally searching the cars of two men he stopped in 2008.

According to The New York Times, Eiseman accepted a deal that calls for him to serve weekends in jail for three months.

Another officer, Michael Carsey, who was accused of backing up Eiseman's claims in one case, has opted to take his case to trial. It's scheduled for Aug. 29.
